E P Speechie

Today the team caught up to plot our FIRST CEN EVENT! 🤩 Pencil in July 3rd for our first webinar exploring introductions to EDAR, case studies across the pathway and sharing current practices. Stay tuned 👀 @RCSLT #EDAR #webinar #ethicalpractice

@ErinSLTProbert Hi Erin, yes please! I would love to be involved in this.

Thanks so much to everyone who has expressed an interest in being on the committee - I’ll follow you so you can send me a DM with your email address if that’s ok! 🙂

Fellow speechies - would you be interested in a specific EDAR CEN??? Idea would be to make it very practical in terms of navigating this complex area, esp in light of current legal landscape. Please comment or send me a msg if you would be! @RCSLTLearn #SLT #EDAR

@aphasiologist1 @ctcawley @FawnSawyer have you seen this?

2/n There’s a new free app for errorless spelling practice, the Aphasia App is being trialled, a free resource for relevant images for SFA etc is coming soon, & AI has potential to help PWA. projectqwerty.com

In search of some aphasia friendly newspaper resources, any ideas or recommendations? #aphasia #stroke #rehab

@katie_fahy @elly_sampson Ooh can I have this too? Sounds really interesting?

@LisaRob87176431 @BiozoonUK @RCSLT @SLT_LaurenS @DysphagiaCafe @DysphagiaCEN I would like this too please if anyone has anything! I can’t find any evidence at all and I’m trying to write a proposal!

@JonHuntSLT @em_rehab @JenThomsonSLT @BasAphasia @ctcawley @cuespeak @TactusTherapy Ah thank you @JonHuntSLT ! This will be great for home practice for her.

@em_rehab @JenThomsonSLT @EPSpeechie @BasAphasia @ctcawley @cuespeak @TactusTherapy’s “Advanced Comprehension Therapy” app has a section called “Identify” that covers pronoun comprehension. Go into “levels” and select “simple sentences, pronouns”.

@em_rehab @ctcawley @BasAphasia I’m looking for resources to work on pronoun comprehension for a lady with non-fluent aphasia. She loves reading but has significant difficulty with pronouns (and auxiliary verbs). Anyone know of anything out there for use in therapy?

@JenThomsonSLT @BasAphasia @em_rehab @ctcawley @cuespeak Thanks Jen, I emailed Jon about this the other day too! I can’t imagine that building new sessions into cuespeak is particularly quick though. 🤔

@EPSpeechie @BasAphasia @em_rehab @ctcawley I remember asking John about this @cuespeak and think he was going to look into some pronoun reading activities - worth a check?

@e_poyner1 @em_rehab @ctcawley @BasAphasia Thanks! This is exactly the sort of thing I’m doing/thinking about.

@EPSpeechie @em_rehab @ctcawley @BasAphasia Following this thread! I’ve used sentence building tasks to work on pronoun comprehension/ production and have made resources matching pictures of people (groups, men, women etc) to written pronouns. Keen to hear better ideas tho!

@em_rehab @ctcawley @BasAphasia It’s in both but reading comp is poorer than spoken so text to speech can help a little. Voice notes instead of text messages are helpful. Main goal has been around this but she would really like to get back to reading. Would be great to chat if you have 5 minutes? 😅🙏

@EPSpeechie @ctcawley @BasAphasia How is it affecting her functionally ie can she use text to speech to help her understanding or claroread or is it in spoken understanding too. I’d be working on using the context of what is around the word as pronouns and aux verbs are semantically light so need boosting up.

BREAKING! - Great to see speech and language therapists are set to be added to the list of Approved Mental Capacity Professionals. We’ve been campaigning for this to happen for some time! #SLT #slpeeps gov.uk/government/con…

Our lovely ASU team promoting nutrition and hydration this week! @rowley29

Nutrition and Hydration is important to us on ASU. Our new HCA John helps us with our afternoon tea round with some lovely treats for the patients. ☕️🍰

Who doesn’t love a scone with cream and jam with a trifle or two😃Afternoon tea on ASU has been delicious today 😊😊

A bite-size blog about our experiences using Biozoon (Air with Flavour) for risk feeding patients with severe Dysphagia. #Sltpeeps #SLT #Dysphagia #biozoon #pallative #SLTday #speechie thespeechnetwork.co.uk/speech-therapi… Thank you @biozoonUK for creating an amazing device.

@Sophakb @Bec_Mears_SLT We’re using it in palliative care at the moment. Certainly interested in looking at using in rehab too but this needs more careful consideration. Keen to hear of any research happening using this tool?!

@Bec_Mears_SLT @EPSpeechie looking into it for NRU - think some considerations ethically etc but if interested will keep you in the know!

Any #slpeeps out there using biozoon foam? Anyone using in rehab with patients who are nil by mouth? biozoon.uk/product/air-wi…

@ctcawley @annabellaSALT @MCM_HEKSS @DBH_NHSFT This looks great! Would be interested to know what impact it has. 😃👍

@annabellaSALT @MCM_HEKSS @DBH_NHSFT @EPSpeechie

Proud of our first mouthcare trolley! Ready to roll out on each ward across @DBH_NHSFT 👄 🦠 #mouthcare #oralcare #oralhygiene #IPC #mySLTday
